HISTORY OF THE COLLEGE

Nahata Jogendra Nath Mondal Smriti Mahavidyalaya is a co-educational institution. The history of this institution is a history of progress. This college is mainly built for the purpose of education and development of the poor and  falling behind students. In 1983, an all-out effort was undertaken in the area by the Government of West Bengal to expand higher education in rural Bengal and realize the aspirations of the people. Nahata Jogendranath Mondal Smriti Mahavidyalaya was affiliated to Calcutta University and this  was established on 1st July 1985 with the efforts of the then Education Minister Mr. Kanti Biswas and the late Mr. Shantimoy Ghosh and with  the sincerity and cooperation of people from all sections of the society. Late Mr. Rakhal Bhowmick and Mr. Hari Mohan Bhowmik donated land for the establishment of the college. Nahata High School donated classrooms and office rooms free of cost for almost two and a half years to run the college. At that time, high school teachers also taught college students responsibly. All levels of staff, including teachers of the school, donate their full month's salary to the college fund for running the college and the teachers of Sarada Sundari Girls' School (Uccha Madhyamik) contributed money to the establishment of the college. In addition to the related areas, the people of Bagda, Gopalnagar, Kalupur, Akaipur Dighari, Palla, etc. helped with poor hands. During the founding period, the president was the honorable minister late Mr. Kanti Biswas and the secretary was the late Shri Rabindranath Sarkar and the treasurer was the late Mr. Satyendranath Naha. The first authorized teacher of the Mahavidyalaya was Mr. Alok Das. The first student of the Arts Department was Mr. Manoranjan Sinha.
